Shifting shorelines and hydroclimate changes in southern South Africa: Insights from sediment provenance during the Middle Stone Age (90-50 ka)

Southern South Africa houses some key archaeological sites, which document the behavioural and technological development of Homo sapiens . During Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 5 and 4, this region experienced marked climate variability, particularly in temperature and precipitation...

Eddy kinetic energy and energy conversion rates along the Atlantic Water boundary current north of Svalbard

Abstract. On the continental slope north of Svalbard, the boundary current carrying Atlantic Water (AW) loses heat as it flows eastward. This cooling cannot be fully attributed to atmospheric heat loss or turbulent mixing. Lateral exchange, potentially linked to mesoscale activit...
